Is anybody using these for CQC?

22" touch screen computer with all the features for $1300
I'd be curious to know what the power draw would be with the computer running and the screen off and/or how fast it would come out of standby

I was playing with one of these at staples...damn thats a big touch screen!
The touch action was quite good but it is pretty deep and has controls and slots on the side and put out a bit of heat from behind, so I think it would only be good for a freestanding corner kitchen counter install.

I was wondering if that would be the case. Do you think you could mount it on the wall like a TV, or would it stick out too much? I'll have to wander by Staples or Future Shop and see if they have one to look at.

Yeah, I would have loved to use this touchscreen in my parents new setup. But the screen was just too big to fit on the kitchen counter where I needed it. So I am going with a regular touchscreen with extenders back to a hidden computer.
